System Hazard Analysis of TACOM's Ride Motion Simulator

Abstract

This report provides a System Hazard Analysis (SHA) of the Ride Motion Simulator (RMS) located at the United States Army tank-Automotive Command (TACOM) in Warren, Michigan. It also provides the U.S. Army Test-Evaluation Command with component descriptions and hazard analyses of the RMS. The Ride Motion Simulator was designed to include provisions for safeguarding personnel. Safety devices have been located on the equipment where necessary and are described in TACOM Technical Report No. 13464, 'USER's MANUAL FOR THE RIDE MOTION SIMULATOR.' This System Hazard Analysis (SHA) is submitted concurrently with a Safety Analysis Report (SAR) in an effort to obtain a safety release for the Ride Motion Simulator. The scope of this System Hazard Analysis is the systematic assessment of real and potential hazards associated with the subsystems of the Ride Motion Simulator. This SHA was conducted on the available system concept data in an attempt to identify hazards and then direct design efforts toward the elimination or control of the identified hazards.
